DEVOTIONAL ANTHOLOGY FOR ZEUS

This devotional will focus on Zeus, King of the Hellenic gods. All his historical aspects in myth, cult, art and philosophy  are fair game. Modern experiences are also desired but they must have the above logical foundation or be clearly labeled as opinion.  
 
Entries on other deities will be accepted if and only if they focus on said deity's relationship to Zeus or historical syncretic realities. 
Examples:

Jupiter as the Roman equivalent of Zeus

The Indo-European Sky Father as the cultural ancestor of Zeus; 
Tyr and Indra compared and contrasted to Zeus:

Zeus-Ammon;

Serapis embodying aspects of Zeus;

Hera as sister, wife and queen to Zeus.

Hermes as herald to Zeus.

Apollo as oracle of Zeus. 

 
The following types of entries will be accepted:  
hymns, prayers, poetry;

ideas for rituals, festivals, meditations and divination 
scholarly essays ; 
opinion essays and personal experiences; 
original short stories. 
 
Non-fiction should be at least 1 full page in MS Word and should not exceed 
10 pages. It should be documented  as needed. The editors prefer endnotes or in-text citations to foot notes. 
 
The editors reserve the right to make minor changes to any submission for 
purposes of spelling, punctuation, grammar, style, formatting and clarity. 
The editors also reserves the right to reject any submission that is deemed 
not commensurate with the criteria set forth above.  
 
As with all of our devotional anthologies we cannot provide payment or contributor copies, since the proceeds will be used for charitable donations and to help bring out further volumes in the Bibliotheca Alexandrina line.   Please read the BA policies:
